Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
But then how will I know what games to play?
I speculate that they'll be replacing this with their user reviews feature. It would be nice if they did what I've done with the latest Enhanced Steam, which is provide a composite "score" for each game. I guess time will tell.

My stellar reviews are a good place to start.

I don't like scores, they can just list the recommended reviews alongside the non recommended. Then you can sort it my date, helpfulness, etc..

Fuck me I hate that ubisoft and ea feel the need to have their own games system that forces people over to their system and doesn't have the option of steam play.
It's just annoying and selfish, and annoying.
At least with uplay you can buy the games on steam but I shouldn't have to have three game clients installed on my system. So freaking bad!!! I really like a lot of ubisoft games and since they're generally available on steam I put up with uplay but the only game I buy on origin is battlefield. I want to get need for speed rivals but since it's not on steam I'm not going to buy. Mores the pity for you ea.

If reviews could be sorted by anything other than "helpfulness" or "recently updated", that would be a huge improvement.
I think the Sonic fanfiction has finally done Sega some good

Just simply uninstall EA and Uplay games, there are enough other titles to enjoy on Steam and GoG. Join

You'll be happy to know that Ubisoft seems to be letting up on their Uplay policies lately. Rocksmith 2014 no longer needs the Uplay launcher, and several Ubisoft games (retail) may now start shipping with Steam keys.
Vote with your wallet people!
I'll buy all the games I skipped if they're Steam versions/non uPlay/without fucked up DRM.
All of them, Ubisoft.
Your move.
(Of course, they'll probably draw the wrong conclusions)

Publishers are being honest about the state of their game, and that's a bad thing now?

Same here, even with Electronic Arts. I'd buy Sim City, Syndicate, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and Dead Space 3 all day one if Electronic Arts released pure-Steam versions.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Does that mean I'll be able to move my small uPlay library over to Steam in the future or is that wishful thinking?

Looks like the Metacritic information that was being removed earlier was just a bug or something, it's all being added back now.
Still pretty wishful thinking at this point. However, if Ubi shuts down Uplay it's conceivable they would roll everything into Steam. That's what a few publishers have done now that GFWL is dead/dying.

Sonic selling more than DayZ!
People pre-buying for the glorious Taxman/Stealth remake.
They really need to release on more than Android/iOS...
Do I need to do something to get into this?
Holy crap!! 80% off Cialis!
Thanks! I didn't know.
Spare me a moment and listen to me bitch about how GFWL is a fucking cancer on humanity.
For some stupid reason I can't sign in and that is preventing me from loading my save in Fallout 3. Now I'm going to have to go through the trouble of figuring out the problem or getting the mod that kills GFWL.
I don't have time for this anymore!111!!!!11!!!!

I never get into these things until they/re just about to go into the normal client.
Weren't they in the process of patching GFWL out of FO3?

These gestures often get lost in the hustle and bustle of the Steam thread (and particularly amid some of the shenanigans of the past several hours), but I just wanted to say that this was very classy and thoughtful, SpongeBob. Nice one.
Thanks for noticing, but they were keys that I was saving up for a ModBot giveaway, so it was no biggie - plus, this way, I can be happy that the keys have gone to somebody who was genuinely interested in giving the games a go.

I thought GFWL was optional on Fallout 3 already. I remember playing it a year ago and GFWL wasn't enabled by default but you could still use it if you liked.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
They haven't put out an official statement or anything yet.
However, people noticed that they had been fucking with the registry entry, including even removing the cd-check. It still requires gfwl at the moment, though.

Looks like the first batch of streaming beta invites are being sent out.

I'm pretty sure I got in the first 1000 in that group, thanks for not giving me an invite Valve.
Welcome to the club! If you have any issues feel free to let me know.
Reposting this but, ES kind of goes nuts if you are in a foreign store duplicating stuff. Is that intended?

Here yea go! Keep in mind you need Windows 8.1 to play this. (Not a steam game really btw)

Dammit, do I want this on Steam
The PC port of this is the worst kept secret, and it's Activision so it'll most likely come to Steam anyway.
I would trade Destiny for Division since Activision doesn't use extra DRM on PC.
Remember, this is Activision we're talking about.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
Shhhhhhhh, I know it's Ubisoft and only makes a little sense.

I haven't even thought of that. Uplay would make Division's "gang up with your friends" idea a joke.

That's definitely not normal. Are you running both the browser plugin and the standalone version?

How's Strike Suit Zero?
Pretty awesome and hard. Just like me.
I might be. Is that the cause?

Couldn't help myself so I got that $4 James Bond game from Best Buy. I don't care if it's not steamworks I just wanna play the game
Bloodstone is a lot of fun. The driving sequences looked amazing at release.

Yeah that's definitely it. I recommend that at this time if you'd like to run both, that you disable some of the redundant features in the extension options (such as price history and DRM warnings)
Groupees will have another indie bundle sale. Eight games, minimum $1.00.
